You know, I kept trying to think of an example of "Horror movie with zero body count." Then one thing came to mind:

THE VOW.

My wife wants me to take her to see it. I told her that memory loss and loss of identity are among the things I fear the most, and therefore The Vow isn't a cute rom-com starring Rachel McAdams, but a horror film (and I don't watch those).

It's like someone in Hollywood said "Hey! Let's think of the most intrinsically terrifying things in the world, and make them into comedies!"

And then someone else said "Good idea! I'll take Cancer!" and made 50/50.

And then someone else said "I'll do loss of self!" and made The Vow.

My mind shudders to think of where they'll go next.

Indeed. Out of curiosity, does anyone know of a horror (genre) movie that does have a body count of 0?_________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar. That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him. That doesn't mean I prefer the PT over the OT, or vice versa. That doesn't mean I hate the EU, or even love all of it (or even read all of it). These are not prerequisites. Being a man is not a prerequisite. Being a geek is not a prerequisite.

It's old but: House on a Haunted Hill w/Vicent Price._________________"Study art...", said Thrawn.

It's been so long since I've seen Poltergeist that I can't even remember what happens in it. And House on a Haunted Hill sounds familiar, but I don't think I've seen it. Well, two reasons to watch them, now!_________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar. That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him.

Do documentaries count? I just watched an hour long documentary on the pyramids and I'm wondering if I should include it in my list.

I think it could be a bit of a slippery slope, but I'm inclined to think this particular one is acceptable._________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar.

Sorry to bother you. I was hoping to check if the following categories and films fit:

177. Utopian - Tron: Legacy.
463. Tokyo, Japan - Last Samurai.

For the first, I thought that would be appropriate, because Clue tries to - and perhaps creates - a perfect world. For the second, I don't remember if it was explicitly stated that they were in Tokyo, but I'm guessing they were, because it makes sense to have the Imperial Court in the capital (though if they had a different capital back then, I don't know)._________________I am a Star Wars fan.
